Doom Widescreen Modding Assets
- A collection of widescreen-friendly art assets drawn by Stephen "Scuba Steve" Browning (originally created from an unrelated widescreen project by Nash Muhandes) featured in the 2019 Unity re-release has been made available for personal use with compatible source ports.[11] The widescreen assets for Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom can be downloaded here. For the other Doom-related expansions not covered in the official download, see this Google Drive folder hosted by Stephen Browning.[12]
Restoring altered content in Doom II Classic's IWAD
- The red cross symbols on recovery items were altered and the secret Wolfenstein 3D levels are partially censored in the IWAD used for Doom II Classic but to a lesser degree compared to Doom 3: BFG Edition and the MS-DOS version of Doom II: Hell on Earth included with the Bethesda.net release.[13]
- Requires the original MS-DOS
DOOM2.WAD
file. Make a back up of Doom II Classic's doom2.wad
file before using these modifications.
Replace Doom II Classic's IWAD with the original MS-DOS version's IWAD[14]
|
- Copy Doom II: Hell on Earth's MS-DOS
DOOM2.WAD file found in <path-to-game> . See the 1994 version's article for common installation locations.
- Browse to your Doom Classic installation folder and go to
<path-to-game>\DOOM II_Data\StreamingAssets , then paste the original DOOM2.WAD into this folder, replacing the stock doom2.wad file used by Doom II Classic.
Notes
- Reverts the new widescreen assets to the original 4:3 assets.
- Only applies to Doom II: Hell on Earth in Doom II Classic; the downloadable Final Doom and BTSX add-on WADs will not be affected.
|
Restore the changes via SLADE[15]
|
A Steam Guide written by AmethystViper provides instructions on how to restore the altered contents of Doom II Classic's IWAD among other tweaks through the use of the SLADE editor tool. The guide can be viewed here.
Notes
- Retains the new widescreen assets featured in Doom II Classic's IWAD.
- Instructions can also be applied to the downloadable add-ons WADs that have similar alterations.
